India (IND) will take on Ireland (IRE) in the eighth match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
India will heavily rely on their potent bowling trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, and Arshdeep Singh in their opening T20 World Cup encounter against Ireland. This trio has been impressive during the recent IPL season and will be crucial to India’s success on a pitch that has favored pacers, as seen in the first game between Sri Lanka and South Africa.
Jasprit Bumrah, the spearhead of India’s pace attack, has been in sublime form, consistently troubling batters with his accurate line and length. His ability to generate steep bounce and extract movement off the surface makes him a strong threat, capable of unsettling even the most accomplished batters. Bumrah’s clever variations and well-directed yorkers could prove to be a real test for the Irish batting lineup.
Kuldeep Yadav, the left-arm wrist-spinner, will be India’s trump card on this surface. His deceptive variations and clever use of flight could potentially wreak havoc on the Irish batters, who might struggle to pick up his deliveries.
Arshdeep Singh, the young left-arm pacer, was a revelation this IPL season, consistently troubling batters with his variations. His swinging deliveries and well-directed yorkers have caught many batters off guard, and his clever use of cutters could be crucial in the death overs against Ireland.
With this potent bowling trio in red-hot form, India will fancy their chances of making a strong start to their T20 World Cup campaign. However, they will need to be wary of the Irish batters, who have the potential to cause an upset on their day.
